Auditioning Headshots for the Actor
Note: Please E-mail me for Information about my work or the industry.
I am no longer booking Headshot appointments…
‘Here is a sampling of the thousands of Actor’s Headshots that I have taken over his 40+ years in the industry. I am sharing both old and newer headshots to show his many years of experience and to let you see what some well know actors used early in their career or in some cases to break into the business.
Some of these faces will be more recognizable than others. All are extremely talented in their own right.
I always took pride in working well with, not only the working Actor, but also the aspiring newcomer.

“I strive to capture the Actor, not just a pretty picture. I want the Actor to have not only great, but accurate representation…
that’s what Casting Directors are looking for.” Two things that you never want to hear from a Casting Director: 1) ” Is that you?
Your Headshot doesn’t look like you.” 2) “Was that Headshot taken 10 years ago?” Your headshots should sell the actor, not a background…not a chair…
not clothing or jewelry!!! If you are trying to fool anyone with your auditioning headshot, or trying to be someone that you are not, please go to one of my competitors. I will not try to be different at the expense of the actor. If your headshot gets you in for an audition that is what makes me look good.”
When looking at the my work please note that it is not about ‘the… pose’, although there is a variety, but it is about a Casting Director looking at the headshot and seeing an actor who can handle acting. It is about The Actor, but hey I guess some people don’t get it.”
Note: Auditioning headshots are different than publicity or glamour headshots.
Do not cut a picture out of a magazine, take it to a photographer and say, ‘I want this.’ Big mistake.
Also Note: If you show up late or bring family or a friend who interrupts your session do not complain if it appears that you
are being rushed.. I was well known for bringing personality out of the actor but if you don’t ‘bring anything to the session’ it will be difficult for whoever your photographer is to accomplish a ‘great session’..
Important Note: In my opinion there is not only one good photographer. Everyone has their favorite(s).
I was not the only good photographer in South Florida! Please check out my competitors and decide who’s style and personality
you feel will get you the headshots that will get you in the door to the auditions for the type of work that you are suited for. Reputable
agencies (who do not sell photos) and Casting Directors are who you are trying to get to look at you seriously. Ask…
I highly recommend that you use a photographer with experience that specializes in Headshot photography.
Do not let someone learn their career at the expense of your career.
If you are a Casting Director, Producer, Director or Client with an interest in booking or auditioning
any of the talent shown, you may e-mail or call me and I will hook you up with their Agent.
I aka Bob Lasky, in no way, shape or form acts as an Agent or Manager.
These are professional actors with representation.
I will be glad to assist you with answers to your questions.
If I can’t come to the phone I will call you back and answer all of your questions personally.”
